La Riviere, who performs somewhere almost every day and frequently tours across Canada, the U.S. and Europe, plays regularly with the international touring band The Paperboys and performs with many other bands including Michael Kaeshammer, Pretzel Logic and the Timebenders.

Soul Source, which includes four vocalists, saxes, trumpet and a five-piece rhythm section as well as La Riviere’s trombone, plays everything from Stevie Wonder to Pharrell Williams.
